Mercato: Tottenham advances for its new coach
In search of a new head coach for next season, Tottenham is speeding up on Arne Slot, who just won the Dutch championship with Feyenoord Rotterdam.
Who will succeed Antonio Conte next season on the bench of Spurs, disappointing 8th of the Premier League? In principle, not Julian Nagelsmann, despite the latest rumors of the weekend that the German coach and the London club had stopped talking a few days ago.
Arne Slot in pole position
On this Monday, May 22, 2023, it is the Dutchman Arne Slot who is in pole position to put an end to the interim of Ryan Mason according to The Athletic. The 44-year-old Dutch coach has just won the Eredivisie with Feyenoord Rotterdam and reached the final of the Europa League Conference last year after eliminating OM, losing in the final to Jose Mourinho's AS Roma.
